The Commission approved the allocation of eleven oil wells entirely to Anambra state, according to a letter sent to Governor Obiano by its secretary, Mr M.B. Shehu, It also approved the attribution of the Anambra River One, Two, and Three oil wells, which will be divided 50/50 between Anambra and Kogi states pending the final demarcation of the two states’ borders.

Nzam-One oil well, Alo-One oil well, and Ogbu-One oil well are the eleven oil wells that are entirely credited to Anambra state. The oil wells Ameshi One, Two, Three, and Four, as well as Enyie One, Two, Three, and Four, are among the others.

Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Commission’s approval was at its 139th plenary session, held on twenty seventh July, 2021. It said the 13 percent derivation will take effect when the said revenue from the operations of the said oil wells starts contributing into the federation account.
